On Monday, 4/8, there was an eclipse of the sun over North America. We were not in totality but I still went out to capture it as we got to around 85 to 87 percent. I would have really liked a chance at total but from the news it sounded that to travel would be fairly crazy with all the people trying to do the same thing. Even at 85% it was cool to see and experience as it got cooler and darker out. This is my composite of what I was able to capture. It started a bit earlier than I thought so I missed the very beginning. I shot this sequence with my camera on my telescope.
Nicely done Shelly. We had 98% totality. I decided not to try to take pictures as I figured I'd be fussing with my camera too much and would miss actually seeing it not through a view finder😊
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jim! I thought I saw you'd be total. Bet it was neat at 98%. I could tell it was darker but it's kind of amazing how light it still is with so much blocked. I could tell better if I ran inside to do or get something that the light was definitely dimmer.
DeleteI'll send you an email re something a friend did up here re the light.
DeleteThanks, that was interesting.
DeleteAmazing composite and beautifully done Kelly! This is Marilou, I watched the eclipse in Virginia at 83% totality! You're right, it was still pretty amazing to see even if we didn't get to experience totality!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilou! Shelly
